Nude nuts

hi there everyone...

its taken a bit to get used to this new 'do' but its kinda nice in a weird way...no going through oodles of shampoo and conditioner, no brushing (not that i did it too much anyways!)..and no getting rain frizz!

Thankfully the weather hasnt been too cold so the need for beanies has not been great (although for you knitters out there, i could do with a couple!)

our total for worlds greatest shave has slipped up over $26,500 which is phenomenal...far exceeded our expectations so thanks to everyone who chucked in some $$

Now, to melon's cottage...we have almost come to the time where the back garden is being seriously discussed...we spruced up the side a bit more - added a few rocks, and some solar lights..it looks very very pretty at night. We have pretty much got the front sorted - we are going to put in a little path that runs across the front. Im personally looking forward to using the whacker machine to compact it all...now thats FUN!

the garden out the back is slowly coming to life - well actually, pete sprayed a whole heap of the grass so its dying, but the concept is coming...we are getting excited looking at plants, and where to put paths...its hard really, but i think it will come together ok...i think it will be a bit of a trial and error really!

we are looking at starting the plans for the 'big' house down the bottom just after easter i think...so we can hopefully start building soon. I dont think we are that far off finalising the subdivision, so everything is pretty much running to plan...

speaking of running, pete and i have been training - just a wee bit for the 'run for the kids' day in melbourne to raise money for the royal childrens hospital. Our legs are a little sore, but i must admit it has been nice to get back into running after having almost 2 and a half years off with eli...not that im a super runner, i just like doing it coz it clears the mind...its really nice to 'train' for something too, so it will be run for the kids (5th April) and then Mothers Day Classic in Bairnsdale (but they are doing a big one in Melbourne)...that will be about the 10th May i think...its kinda nice to keep things ticking over and training for 'something' to keep motivated...
anyways...
i would like to send a cheerio to nan olive who has had some surgery recently. I hope your recovery is nice and speedy..
congratulations also to Stef 'canary' and leonard who were married on saturday at williamstown. It was a brilliant day and a real honour to share it with your family and friends.
love to all
